Click on the seed number of a player to go to their draw section.
Players placement onto the table is such that no two players from the same country start within the same quarter section of the table, hence making it impossible for them to meet until the semifinals. This is enabled by the qualification rule that states that no country can bring more than four players for each of the singles tournament. [5] The countries bringing the maximum of four players are Argentina, Australia, France, Italy, Spain and United States.
